But my mother liked to find beaches that were a bit hidden and less crowded.

I&#39;ve struggled with PTSD since returning from Vietnam wounded in body, mind, and spirit. I&#39;m doing okay, but it never goes away. I&#39;ve mostly learned to control my violent outbursts, but things still eat away at me. Thank you for being such a positive example to others. <br />--MichaelE.

At the same time there are amounts of physical and mental scar tissue that may never heal. At the same time, if we&#39;re also dealing with compounding conditions, then our uphill battle really becomes a slog. Yet, you and I are slogmeisters. We may get down, but we fight back into the slog and push through. Have you seen The Railway Man? There&#39;s a type of PTSD in that film that is hauntingly beautiful. Filled with physical and mental pain. And in the end a sort of forgiveness that envelops it all. Sometimes I think we need to forgive ourselves for the torture we add to the torture... xoxoNick Belardeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445719353246891145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682076537108737129.post-1434030577548711862015-08-03T06:46:38.582-04:002015-08-03T06:46:38.582-04:00I&#39;ve really enjoyed learning more of the backg...I&#39;ve really enjoyed learning more of the background to this fascinating book.
